Ryan’s Blog

Here’s an update on my new little software. (Keep up-to-date and get more info here http://blog.ryangannon.com/category/php-personal-book-library-database/)

This version:

Installs
Adds books
Deletes books
Searchs
and orders the search results (e.g. by ISBN, Author, etc.)

Download it here: http://ryangannon.com/downloads/PHP_Library.rar

Work has begun on the next semester of PaganSoc and to start it all off here’s the by-no-means-complete, php-based library system for the new library (planed opening January 28th 2008).

After installation you can create a database of books by simply adding their ISBN number.

So far it installs ok and it adds books. So there’s still a lot to do, but I only started this afternoon.

Download here: http://ryangannon.com/downloads/PHP_Library.rar

Screenshots coming soon.

Requires:
mySQL database
PHP 5

Install:
1. Extract all files and folders and upload (e.g. ftp) them to your server.
2. Go to “http://yourdomain.com/install” and follow the instructions.

Credits:
This software is built around PHP ISBN Lookup Tool found here http://www.dawsoninteractive.com/articles/article/php-isbn-lookup-tool/
Also thanks go to isbndb.com for their open API and tireless work creating their book database without which this software would not be possible.
